Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Renal Support A Dry Cat Food

I switched to Royal Canin Renal Diet from Science Diet K/D because my cat was scratching, scratching, scratching from the Science Diet (although she loved to eat it). My renal failure kitty loves the "A" and "S" food and occasionally the "F" food. Out of the other 4 cats in my household, only 2 like the food. The other 2 won't touch it. So, be aware that this is a cat preference thing - no guarantee they will love it. Fortunately, Chewy has a generous return policy on food. As for effectiveness, my cat's blood numbers are much improved since starting this food. This is the only change as she refused to eat any renal canned food of any kind. I choose to get the 4 lb. bags even though I switched to Royal Canin Renal Diet from Science Diet K/D because my cat was scratching, scratching, scratching from the Science Diet (although she loved to eat it).

I choose to get the 4 lb. bags even though the 8 lb. are a bit more economical. My cats have a tendency to suddenly take a food into dislike about 2/3 through the bag. With the cost of this food, I can't afford that. Even though I close the bag, maybe they think it is stale? I just order more frequently. … more

I was concerned when I learned that my furry friend Lily required a totally different diet, but also happy that food that could extend her life existed. To my relief, the transition to her new food was much easier than I expected. She enjoys the food, and the service provided by Chewy is excellent.

My cat's been on urinary so for three years, but his kidney disease has progressed enough that our vet says he needs to be on kidney food now. He doesn't like it, and won't eat it. =(

I was concerned that my cat wouldn't eat any veterinary diet catfood, but surprisingly he really likes this. Royal Canin seems to have found a way to make renal support catfood acceptable to the feline palate.

This food was recommended to my 15 year old cat with beginning kidney disease. My cat isn't super picky food with his food, but he loves to gobble this food up. The food was getting pretty expensive to pick up at the store and I saw that the prices on chewy were much lower (plus coupons!). Sending them the prescription was super easy and quick. A few hours after placing the order, I received an email giving me instructions on how to submit my cat's prescription. It was super easy, I just sent a picture of the prescription to the email they gave me and it was approved in less than 24 hours. Definitely would recommend!

Our elderly cat had only had the "S" dry cat food - it was obvious she was tired of it. I decided to try both the "F" & the "A". She doesn't appear to like this "A" all that much.

No transition needed for our 15.5 yr old male tabby! Opened the first bag of Renal A dry and he was jumping up and pawing the side of the counter where I was preparing his dish. He then woofed down three helpings without leaving a trace on it unlike his usual eating habits whereby he always leaves some food remaining for later. Should mention that I put filtered water in the dry food and let it soak in. This did not seem to impede his appetite and figure he'll get further liquid as well. I also ordered wet canned food type D. He also seemed to like it a lot, but perhaps not as much as dry food A. He just got diagnosed with chronic kidney issues, had lost weight, and we had begun giving No transition needed for our 15.5 yr old male tabby!

If he continues to eat like this we are hopeful he will put weight back on and feel much better. … more

I am pleased and relieved that both senior cats will eat this dry food; I leave it out for free feeding and I can tell they nibble on it throughout the day and night.

I recently had one of my cats diagnosed with early stage renal issues. So I went looking for a renal support dry food. I’ve liked Royal Canin for quite awhile. It’s quality food with a number of food formulas and flavors. I started with this “A” flavor formula. At first all my cats were eating it well. But as you are probably aware, they can be finicky - they stopped eating it as well as I would prefer. I started with this “A” formula because it had the highest fiber content to benefit one of my cats. But I changed to the “S” formula (with lower fiber content), but is being eaten very well. Again, all RC are very high quality. You just have to find the one your cat loves the best. I recently had one of my cats diagnosed with early stage renal issues.
